Answer:
Both the events of the 1992 LA Riots and the current social and political conflicts in America have the same origin, which is none other than the inequalities of social, economic and political opportunities that exist between African Americans and whites in the United States.
Thus, the 1992 LA Riots arose after the assault on Rodney King by the police and his subsequent acquittal by a mostly white jury, which demonstrated the impunity that the police had in the face of attacks on black people, as well as the structural power of whites versus blacks in the government structure.
In turn, the current disturbances arose after the murder of George Floyd by white police officers, thus repeating the pattern of abuse of power by the security forces, especially against members of the African-American community.
Answer:
Signifying <u>nothing</u>.
Explanation:
These lines are a quote from the tragedy play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Taken from Act V scene v, these words are said by Macbeth after he hears of the death of his wife, lady Macbeth.
Macbeth at first seemed to be shaken with the news brought by Seyton that "<em>the queen, my lord, is dead</em>." But then, Macbeth began talking of the inevitability of death for everyone. He accepts that "<em>she should have died hereafter</em>", and that "<em>Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/ That struts and frets his hour upon the stage/ And then is heard no more. It is a tale/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury/ Signifying nothing.</em>" This could also be taken as his acceptance of the meaninglessness and the futility of human life, which also indirectly made his act of murdering King Duncan an insignificant act. He is in a way, justifying his murderous acts and seems to imply their insignificance. After all, life is just a shadow cast by a brief candle.
Answer:
Loneliness
Explanation:
In the given excerpt from "Bluesman on the Move," the author's word-choice for using the word like 'ghosts' primarily aims to develop a feeling of 'isolation and loneliness.' It assists the author in reinforcing the idea that the place is so deserted that 'even the notes of the guitar bounce back similar to ghosts.' This sets the mood for the reader and further emphasize the abandonment of the place where the old man didn't even have someone to tell his tales.
